Happy Thursday! Got a long question for you today, and if you get it correct, I'll give you 2 points!

Even as Lee was withdrawing his army on July 4th, 1863, General Pemberton was surrendering Vicksburg to Grant. The people of the city were on the verge of starvation, the Union bombardment continued anabated, and there was no choice but to surrender. How long would it be before the citizens of Vicksburg, Mississippi, celebrated Independence Day again? (I'm looking for a specific year)
